## \u2b50 New in v1.3: Fusion Forge<\/p>\n
### Fusion Forge<\/p>\n
An advanced **metal fusion workstation** designed for late-game efficiency and consistency.<\/p>\n
The Fusion Forge processes **two material inputs + fuel**, allowing metals to be fused for **higher and more reliable yields** than traditional smelting or Fortune-based mining.<\/p>\n
Its true potential is unlocked by installing a **Nether Star catalyst** (permanent, non-consumable), which **doubles all outputs** and pushes resource efficiency beyond Fortune III averages \u2014 without relying on RNG.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Core Mechanics<\/p>\n
* Requires **2 input slots + fuel** to operate.
\n* Optional **Nether Star catalyst**:
\n * Not consumed.
\n * Doubles all recipe outputs.
\n* Designed to outperform **Fortune III averages**, not theoretical maximums.
\n* Focused on **late-game optimization**, not early progression skips.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### Example Fusion Recipes<\/p>\n
| Recipe Type | Inputs | Base Output | With Nether Star |
\n|——————-|————————————–|—————————-|——————|
\n| Ore Fusion | Silk-touched ore + Copper Ingot | ~Fortune II average | **x2 output** |
\n| Netherite Fusion | Ancient Debris Scrap + Gold Ingot | 3 Netherite Nuggets | **6 Nuggets** |
\n| Alloy Fusion | Raw Iron + Coal | 3 Iron Ingots | **6 Iron Ingots** |<\/p>\n
> Outputs are balanced per material based on vanilla Fortune drop tables.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
